This is one way to NOT haul your ORV—Youch!

By Russ & Tiña De Maris
Some RVers are just too clever for their own good. Give ’em a bungee cord, they’ll haul the world. This character has found the “ideal” way to carry that cumbersome extra vehicle. No tow hitch is required. This novel way to haul your ORV is NOT one we recommend.

I don’t need a Toy hauler. Just hook the winch cable to the AC unit up top and grab some bungee cords 😂

We’d really like to think this is just a really clever Photoshop job. Or maybe even the work of an imaginative artificial intelligence guy. We don’t have any way to tell. But as one observer wrote, it’s one way to reduce your hitch weight.

Novel way to haul your ORV? Perish the thought.

Good photoshopped job, I’m guessing. The shadow that the ORV casts is doesn’t seem right. I’m thinking the shadow should be more to the right shoulder of the road.

It’s really hard to tell what’s real and what’s not anymore.

Possibly generated by AI?

Perhaps, but so far, the AI stuff on rvtravel looks like AI. But then, this picture has been around the net for a while.

No way the A/C unit would allow the winch to pull yet hold the ORV.

Don’t think it hasn’t been tried. No shortages of ” IDIOTS” out there.

Saves on tolls, too, since most toll roads charge by the axle.

I have dreamed of a television screen above my rear bumper and a forward facing camera on the roof of my rig so folks would know what is ahead. Or, turn off the camera and play old monster movies instead.

That would be one way to lighten the pin weight allowing a 1/2T pickup to pull the 5th wheel, he solved 2 problems with that set up, now the pin weight is not to heavy for his truck’s axle. Lol

I thought the same exact thing.
